for Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, Inc.
Biography"Coward-McCann Publishing Company was founded in New York in 1928 by Thomas R. Coward and James A. McCann. In 1936 the firm became an autonomous subsidiary of G. P. Putnam's Sons (later Putnam Berkley). John Geoghegan joined the firm in 1956, and in 1971 it was renamed Coward, McCann and Geoghegan. See 'Dictionary of Literary Biography' 46 (1986), pp. 96-99, and the obituary of John Geoghegan, 'New York Times', 30 December 1999. The firm's autonomy declined after Geoghegan's resignation in 1981, and Putnam Berkley ceased using the Coward-McCann name around 1984. See the FOB entry for G. P. Putnam's Sons, which indicates that the firm is now part of the Penguin Group, and owned by Pearson." -- firms out of business directory courtesy of Harry Ransom Center https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/Watch/fob_search_results_next.cfm?FOBFirmName=G&FOBNote=&locSTARTROW=11
